I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ralph Lauren (New York, NY) in Feb 2015
Interview
The Hiring Manager reaches out via email and/or phone and sets up the first meeting to discuss the position and your credentials. Then they will contact you if you are going to move on to the second round which involves meeting with the actual department managers. Depending on the # of people you will be reporting to you may have one or two separate interviews. If you are selected, then the HR Manager will call you to make the offer.

Question 1
What do you like about Merchandising and why are you interested in this specific position/ division?
Two interviews in a week meeting with two different members. They were friendly and willing to answer questions about the job. Very short interviews. Asked me so many questions on accountability that made me feel like this job was going to be in a toxic environment
